sas from command line

woo — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 22:48:05 GMT

if you can please help,

i am trying to start sas from command line (Linux) (not a batch program like "sas test.sas") and wants to run proc setinit on specific server - how can i do that?

i tried starting sas via "sas -nodms" but didn't help,

Thank you ------

Why do you want to run the SAS setinit from the command line? You can post the setinit code into Display Manager SAS (easiest) or run it as a batch job.

PROC SETINIT won't tell you what products are installed, just those that are licensed - you can be licensed for a product but not have it installed.

PROC PRODUCT_STATUS will tell you what foundation products are installed:

Do you have X Windows sessions available to you? That is probably the easiest. Otherwise batch mode, or interactive line mode are the other options:

You would need to log into remotely to each SAS app server in the grid to do the above.

Isn't there a way to remotesubmit across the whole grid?
I would expect one of tbe automatic macro variables to identify the individual node.....

i think below test went fine,

sas -nodms

proc product_status; run;

to terminate,

ctrl+D or "T" to terminate - and then - "Y" to terminate current sas session,

thanks a lot SASKiwi, Peter.
